Chapter 123: Entering the Dynasty
Qin Ping thought for a while and said, "I also understand this truth. ”
"Most of the children's marriages have been decided, and the title has been inherited by the son-in-law. My daughter is even more expensive as a national teacher, where can I have such treatment? My daughter has entered the court, and her status is so high, the officials in the court can only talk to my daughter on an equal footing, but I am standing there, a generation higher than everyone, what should I do? Could it be that those people call me an elder when they call Xie Xiang? ”
"Then I'll have to retreat. I've thought about this before, and I've thought about resigning myself, but I didn't think that this day would come so quickly. Anyway, I'll take my aunts to live in Zhuangzi. The emperor's reward house must not be bad, in fact, it is more comfortable than in the city. Just leave now? ”
Qin Mingyue hurriedly said: "Father, I definitely can't stay in Zhuangzi now, and I don't want you to stay in Zhuangzi all the time." During the New Year's holidays, there is a wedding in the house, and my father is also coming back. For example, now, my father doesn't have to go over, and as soon as I come, my eldest brother will get married soon. Second, it's also the New Year. If my father goes to Zhuangzi, he will also have the New Year, and it will be better to go in the spring. ”
"Although the Zhuangzi given by the emperor is good, we also have to sort it out, ladies and sisters, we must also choose where we want to live in advance and send someone to arrange it."
Qin Ping thought about it and said, "Well, that's fine." Then I don't care, I'll leave this matter to you two brothers and sisters. ”
Qin Mingyue and Qin Guosong hurriedly came down. In fact, this is all left to the subordinates, and it is not troublesome.
Mrs. An said with a sad face: "Your father has gone to retire, so what should I do?" Am I not getting older? Where can you still stay in the city? ”
Listening to Mrs. An's words, Mrs. Yin also looked at Qin Mingyue with a blank eye. Qin Mingyue smiled and comforted: "I asked someone to clean up the residence for my grandmother and mother in the suburban Zhuangzi, and if you two want to go to the suburbs to have a fresh picture, you can also go to live." If you don't want to go, it doesn't matter if you stay in the mansion in the capital, you two are just women, where will the court care? ”
Saying this, both Mrs. Yin and Mrs. An breathed a sigh of relief. They have lived in this big mansion all their lives, where are they willing to go somewhere else.
Mrs. An saw that her son was a little gloomy and a little distressed, so she changed her words and said: "After the year, the spring flowers are blooming, and I will go to Zhuangzi with your father to live for a while." Also loose for a few days. ”
Although Mrs. Yin didn't want to go, her husband and mother-in-law were going, so she dared not go, and she said: "After the year, my daughter-in-law marries in, and I can also take care of the affairs of the family, and I will also go to live in Zhuangzi." ”
Qin Mingyue said: "Cheng, I'll clean it up for you." In a few days, when we have time, we will go over and have a look together, and everyone will think about how to clean up the Zhuangzi. This time, I will pay for the money and things spent on Zhuangzi. I honor my parents and grandmother. ”
Qin Guosong hurriedly said: "How can you let your sister pay again?" Have you bought so many farms for your family? This money, the public is good. ”
Qin Mingyue said: "This imperial house also carries some fields, mountains and forests, and in the future, the people who manage these fields and forests will be my brother and future sister-in-law." With these as income, I think it is enough to spend on Zhuangzi. These are all things that my brother and sister-in-law will have to worry about in the future. I will be less filial in the future, so this time I will come out. ”
Saying this, Qin Guosong had nothing to say. This matter was decided.
However, Qin Ping and Mrs. Yin, Mrs. An are all human spirits, and when they heard that Qin Mingyue arranged the place, they had already been alive in their hearts. Qin Mingyue is very rich, and she has a lot of good things in her hands, not to mention anything else, didn't she pull back a carriage of good things from the palace today. This is a unique opportunity. They all began to think about what to ask Qin Mingyue for?
Mrs. An thought to herself, taking this opportunity, she told her granddaughter to ask for a few sets of red plum bottles from her industry. That thing is really well made, you have to book it, and my granddaughter must have it in her hand.
Mrs. Yin thought that she could take the opportunity to ask her daughter for more new yarn from Jiangnan for decoration, and it would be better to use that to decorate the house.
Qin Ping thought that a few favored aunts in the backyard were clamoring for a big dressing mirror, but this thing was too expensive, and he couldn't afford it, so it was better to take this opportunity and let his daughter equip a few. My daughter is feeling a little guilty, and she will definitely be satisfied.
Thinking about this, everyone's smiles were much more sincere. The family is happy.
At this time, Qin Guosong suddenly remembered and said, "My sister has already reached the end of this year." The girl and the ceremony are very important, because my sister has always been on the side of Ba Province, so there is no way to hold it. Now that my sister has returned, there is still a month before the New Year, and I can hold a ceremony in a tight time. I don't know what my sister is going to do? ”
Saying this, Mrs. An hurriedly said: "This girl's etiquette is the most important, and you must invite the most valuable person to come." We still have to do a lot of things. ”
Lady Yin also nodded busily.
Qin Ping said: "I have discussed this matter with your eldest brother several times, and I will post your opinion." ”
Qin Mingyue smiled slightly and said, "Don't do it." ”
Everyone was stunned, and Mrs. Yin was a little anxious: "How can you not do it?" Girls, even girls from poor families, have to do a ceremony. Only after the ceremony can it be said that the marriage is married. How can you do it if you don't do it? ”
Qin Mingyue said: "Mother, don't worry. For girls in general, it is very important to be polite. Especially for people like us, the ceremony can be said to be the second biggest event after the wedding. But, am I an ordinary girl? I am the future national teacher. Among the national teachers of the past dynasties, although there are few female national teachers, it is not none. None of the female national teachers held a ceremony. ”
Now everyone is dumbfounded, how can there be such a regulation?
Qin Mingyue said: "What do you think, what does the national teacher do? Controlling half of the power of a dynasty, at the same level as Zai, and even deciding who the heir to the throne is? Such power is not in the hands of ordinary men, let alone women? Originally, this must not be given to women. However, the national teacher was chosen by the Xuangui Jade Plate. The people selected by the Xuangui Jade Plate have all kinds of strange things, scholars, hunters, sons, village girls, etc. It's also normal to choose a woman. So what to do? If it is a female national teacher who ascends the throne, it cannot be measured according to the behavior of a normal woman. For example, getting married, such as being married. Therefore, the female national teachers of the past dynasties have another set of rules, and they will not hold and ceremonies. ”
When I said this, everyone understood, and I could only sigh.
Lady Yin frowned and said, "Why are there so many strange regulations? ”
